given by Col. Swain of the Oskaloosa
Herald: A hen, half black Spanish
and half game, has been doing a land
Office business in Rolla, Mo. She laid
her first egg on the 10th Of May, 1886,
and has continued to lay an egg every
day since. She went to setting as
soon as she laid her first egg and is
still on her nest. She comes off every
morning to get water and food, and
then goes back. She has Matched one
egg day except the three first weeks
of her career. She has now been
laying one year, and is the mother and
hatcher of $50 chickens, one-half pull
lets and the other half ROSTERS.

Dr. Yancey on Jefferson street lie incurred his horse, young and vic ious animal, which started down town at break neck pace and at once be- came unmanagable. The horse dashed down Jefferson block or two then turned across River into St. Mary and down to Main, the Doctor meanwhile holding well his seat, but utterly un- able to control his horse. Turning quickly into Main the horse stumbled and fell in front of the residence of MT. James Shinn, dashing the rider to the ground with such force as to render him insensible. He was picked up teuderly and carried into Mr. Shinn's residence and medical aid summoned. At length he regained consciousness and an examination showed several contusions about the face, but fortu- nately nothing of a dangerous charac- ter. After several hours he was re- moved home, aud since has recovered sufficiently to be about again. It was narrow escape from a terrible tate and the doctors many friends are re- joiced at his good fortune. F. S.-He has dissolved copartnership with that horse and is seeking another more tractable.

To the members of the Nj. K. Church
 south, of Russellville:
 Dear Brothers and Sisters.
 take this method to inform you that the second week in this month, from the 7th to l4th, has been set apart by our College of Bishops and Board of Missions as week of prayer and self denial. This is an emergency that Is nov upon us as a church, which will more fully ex- plain from the pulpit. The indlca- tions are that the week will be ob- served throughout the connection. We do hope that every member, young and old, will deny themselves to that extent. that they will be able to contribute something. Think of the self denial practiced by our Sa viour in order to secure your saliva tion. He says,
 'sI gave my life for thee,
 What hast thou given for me?" The services will continue during the week. At the close of each serv ice you will be permitted to bring forward your free-wll offerings. We cordially invite the entire town to | join us in these services, and if you feel like you want to assist us in ouI free will offerings any amount will be appreciated. Some of our mem, bers will not be able to attend these services. We ask you to be engaged in prayer at home, and be certain tc send up your contribution. Who can tell the great good that may be accomplished by eight days of earn est prayer and work. The Board oI Missions may not only be relieved but hundreds and thousands of souls may be saved, and every member receive an additional foretaste of the joys of heaven. 5. $. KEY,

At regular meeting few evenings since Geo. Raymer, editor Of the Madison Democrat and a veteran, sent in letter asking an honorable discharge from the post. A spirited debate ensued, and many were vigorously opposed to granting an honorable discharge on account of the articles which had appeared in tue Democrat relating to the poiicial attitude of the G. A. R. In the heat of the debate, when matters had become decidedly hot the officer of tue day, democrat, unbuckled his sword, removed his badge and decIar- ed that he had become disgusted with the actions of the post and wish ed no further connection with it. Efforts were maae U quell the dis satisfaction of members, but with out avail, and the next meeting broke up ina general political row. The affair has caused great excite ment in Grand Army circles and the action of the next meeting is awaited with interest. It is rumorcd that there will be a general withdrawal of members from the post at no distant day.

 Death. And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at breath And the flowers that grow between ,
 --H. w. LoNGFELLow. Disturb not his slumbers, but let hin
 sleep or,
 In his beauty and innocence there: This world was too dreary, too dark
 and too cold;
 He too lovely, too fragile and fair. The soft breath of summer just passed
 OCT his brow,
 As the gentle dew kisses the flowers, When he faded away, like beautiful
 dream,
 To the land of elysian bowers. Sad, sad are the hearts of the fond par
 ents now,
 Since the pet of their household is
 gone, And faded away the sweet hope of their
 lives
 Which halo around them had thrown. But why put our trust in the frail
 things of earth, Which we know so soon must decay /? Why make ourselves idols, and cling
 to them still, When we know those idols are clay :? Let our loves, and our hopes, be record
 ed in heaven, Above in the Kingdom of Light:- They shall remain there, unchanged,
 and forever, In that "City where cometh no night" 1"
